Wow. Thanks a lot for that. That's a reasonable size sample now too.

Yes, it does seem tougher in Sydney and Melbourne. I'm not surprised about Melbourne as I've always thought it was tough there for the top raters, but Sydney is a surprise to me. The top raters used to go pretty well there.

I actually left out 3 races on Saturday in Brisbane and Adelaide which I was originally looking at. I should have posted them instead of Perth, because all 3 produced top rating winners which would have qualified for your system - She's In The Guide, Eleda and Just Flipper.
